Hello there! I'm Sarah a hand spinner and fibre artist. I create handspun and hand dyed fibres from an 18th century coastal cottage in beautiful wild West Cornwall, where I live with my husband Andrew, two children, a nutty Border Collie, two crazy cats (the boys), and three fish.

After learning to knit and sew as a young girl I began a lifelong love affair with colour and texture. I have a BA (hons) in Embroidery and worked as a freelance artist for several years and even wrote a needlework book which was published in 2012. I am also a qualified teacher and I am hoping in the near future to offer online/offline textile courses.

I have been hand spinning since 2014 and hand dyeing and blending my own fibres since 2015. I love to experiment with fibres and enjoy creating unique colour ways inspired by my surroundings and
everyday life. I enjoy knitting, weaving and crochet and especially love knitting socks and always have several pairs on the go.

On the Penberth Yarns website you will find a wide selection of handspun yarns and unique one-of-a-kind (OOAK's) art yarns in various fibres. To dye my yarns I use non-toxic professional acid dyes that produce the most radiant of colours. I use low immersion dyeing techniques in my home studio and dry them outside (where possible) in the Cornish sea air.
